the stud a classic ?

Pretty good movie.

I've not seen it, but as it made an appearence on [u]www.tv.cream.org[/url]'s Top 100 films, now I'm very intrigued.

Here's what those splendid chaps had to say about it:

"We said this list would avoid the ironic or kitsch choice, but we're taking the piss here, right? Well, no. Honest. Admittedly this moneygrubbing Brent Walker fluff is generally regarded as a low period for all concerned, a tacky adaptation of a tackier book, an "errodick drama" that's about as errodick as a Hollyoaks omnibus. Despite all that, this slight tale of (strangely high-gloss) low-rent cockney gigolo and all-round Adrian Mills-haired "handsome bastard" Oliver Tobias becoming entangled in the (strangely low-rent) high-gloss West End world of jet-setting disco empress Joan Collins, leading to, well, nothing much to be honest, will hook you to the last. A wealth of period detail helps, obviously - from the snooker halls to the "debauched" disco scenes to the infamous Parisian lido complete with cockatoo and rubber plant, this is a museum of seventies transatlantic aspirational glamour in itself, before you even get as far as the ace Quantum Jump-featuring soundtrack (and yes, even in the West End's most glamourous nightspot, they still all sit on the floor for that rowing boat dance). Whatever, trust us - within twenty minutes you'll have forgotten to scoff at Sister Jackie's risque dialogue ("Does this give you a hardon?" inquires a slow-dancing Joan - answers on a Barclaycard, please) and start wallowing in its unabashed Clairol chutzpah. A weirdly life-affirming experience, even (especially) if you've never picked up a bonkbuster in your life. In it goes."


It seems it's one of those titles you can pick up at a bargain price. I'll add it to my ever growing DVD list.

You better believe it. Cool morality tale too.

Been ages since I saw this piece of trash on the Playboy channel. After much fiddling with the cable box and fine tuner, the channel came in relatively clear, and I'm not sure it was worth it.

Joan Collins was the hot name on Dynasty at the time, and I'm guessing Hugh Hefner wanted to capitalize on her re-found success. Even with raging hormones I didn't see much sex appeal in this sex film. My buddy on the other hand pointed out all of the "skin" shots he could see. Well, that and his half brother was heavily into porn. Go figure.

I can't remember much of the movie itself. It was sleaze, even for sleaze, and it was cheap sleazy sleaze too boot.

I mean, what can you say about a film trying to create success from two sisters collaborating? A couple of the girls in the supporting roles were kind of cute ... beyond that, this film isn't worth the celluloid it was shot on.

Still, I'd be willing to splurge on a DVD just to trek down memory lane ... maybe not

From a woman's point of view, it's probably the ultimate cult classic; for once a beautiful man was on display for us ladies to enjoy, and the heroine was powerful--I know, she got her power from marrying rich and a little bit from modeling, but whoa that woman had swagger!:) Considering all the cult and B movies that had slut, whore or hooker in the title, we finally get a stud!:)

Feminism is the "radical belief" that women are people, and should be paid and treated equally.

It's a classic
